There were actually 11 caterpillars altogether. We found the first 3 caterpillars on 21 Aug 2018. We captured them and took them to the Highfield Discovery Garden (Glenview Gardens in Glendale, OH) to be reared there in their educational program. They taught us how to raise Monarchs. We found and reared 6 more caterpillars on our own and successfully released them on the following dates:
Polly,large female, 7 Sept
Ester, male, 11 Sept
Pia 14 small male Sept
Goofy, female, 21 Sept
Baby Spinach, female, 25 Sept
Goober, ?, 25 Sept
We found 2 additional caterpillars and left them on potted milkweed plants outside. One disappeared. One died while trying to become a chrysalis.
